scope process.(Reference: 4-2-2)

cohesiveness.(Reference: 4-2-2)
A facility management (FM) organization is searching for a general contractor for a capital
construction project. What would allow the project manager to see which contractor has the
lowest price on carpeting or tile work? Standardized bid proposal form Your answer is correct.
A standardized proposal form permits review of bids on a table comparing each bidder for each
line item. For construction projects, bidders submit a table of bids for each line item in the
detailed bid form (e.g., finish hardware, interior woodwork, etc.). (Reference: 4-1-3)
What can be done to better ensure a project will meet its deadline, while final contract
negotiations are proceeding?
Get a letter of intent Your answer is correct.
A letter of intent can be issued by the owner to the contractor to allow work to begin prior to
execution of the formal contract.(Reference: 4-1-4)
An organization using open tender/bidding is having difficulty finding qualified contractors
because it has limited funds. What can be done to limit costs and increase the chances of
finding a qualified contractor? Allow the work to be conducted off-site. Your answer is
correct.
Allowing the work to be conducted off-site may allow for a wider search area for contractors
(national or international). Offering a bonus fails to limit costs. Hourly rate contracts offer less
price stability for budgets and so may fail to limit costs. (Reference: 4-1- 3)
, What does a standard statement of qualifications NOT ask of contractors? _A letter of
intent Your answer is correct.
Everything listed except the letter of intent is requested from contractors in a standard
statement of qualifications. A letter of intent is issued by the owner, not the contractor.
(Reference: 4-1- 4)
What indicates that bidders on a construction project have a clear understanding of the
project's needs? Receiving proposals that are less than 10 percent apart in price. Your
answer is correct.
A lagging indicator of a clearly defined request is that the price range of proposals received is
within 10 percent of one another. Receiving bids in a wider range indicates that bidders made
differing assumptions. Therefore, bid requests must be clear enough that bidders know what
the project requires, for example, construction drawings or specifications can only be
interpreted one way and require no clarification. (Reference: 4-1-3)
What is generally true of evaluating project outcomes?
Project managers investigate the root causes of success as much as of failures. Your answer is
correct.
Evaluating project outcomes typically includes conducting an evaluation to determine the
success or failure of the project as well as the root causes of the success/failure and the
lessons learned.(Reference: 5-2-2)
Which is true about documentation for project closure?
Documentation may include operations and maintenance manuals. Your answer is correct.
Product documentation is produced when closing projects, including operations and
maintenance manuals. Project closure documentation (not product documentation) formally
ends a project. Incomplete deliverables could be accepted if a project or contract is
terminated early. If a budget limit is not part of a deliverable's acceptance criteria, it is not a
valid reason for rejecting a deliverable.(Reference: 5-2-2)
